For golfers seeking world-class courses, superb service and Mediterranean sunshine, Costa Navarino stands out as one of Europe’s finest golf destinations. Set in the Messinia region of south-west Peloponnese, this stunning coastal resort combines championship golf with exceptional accommodation, delicious cuisine and breathtaking sea views.
Four exceptional golf courses
Costa Navarino is home to four outstanding 18-hole courses, each offering a distinctive golfing experience:
-
The Dunes Course, designed by Bernhard Langer, was Greece’s first signature golf course. Set among olive groves and coastal dunes, it provides a challenging layout and beautiful sea views.
-
The Bay Course offers a slightly shorter but more strategic round, with holes overlooking Navarino Bay and the surrounding hills.
-
The Hills Course, designed by José María Olazábal, sits inland with rolling countryside views and wide, undulating fairways.
-
The International Olympic Academy Course, also designed by Olazábal, adds a true championship challenge with dramatic elevation changes and panoramic vistas.
Each course is immaculately maintained and includes buggy use in the green fee. Regular resort shuttles make getting between the courses easy and convenient, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable golf experience.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a golf holiday in Europe cost?
Tailor-made golf breaks in Europe start from £165 per person, including your hotel, green fees and airport transfers. Every package is built around your group, dates and handicaps.
Do you arrange flights to Europe?
Flights can be added as an ATOL-protected option, or you book your own and we handle everything on the ground — private transfers, tee times and buggies.
Is my money protected?
Yes. Every booking is financially protected through Protected Trust Services (PTS) — your money is held safely in trust until you have travelled. Flight-inclusive trips are also ATOL protected.
Can I tailor the trip?
Always. We don’t sell off-the-shelf packages — every Europe break is built personally around your group, your preferred courses and your dates.
